The annual April Stools Day & Litter Pickup has been scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2013. The event is sponsored by Friends of the Eastern Promenade, Munjoy HIll Neighborhood Oganization and the West End Neighborhood Association. The clean-up starts at 9am – noon. Meet near the Cutter Street/Eastern Promenade intersection.

The program entails cleaning up neighborhood residental areas, parks and trails by picking up litter, debris and dog stools. The goal for the day goes beyond a spring cleaning. The organizations involved also aim to increase awareness about responsible pet ownership by educating about how debris and pet waste contribute to water quality in the nearby Casco Bay and other waters.

In the past Carol was disappointed with the lack of news coverage of this very dynamic community on the eastern end of Portland. That's how and why this blog came into being. The main goal was to recognize people on the Hill leading unique lives, start-up businesses in the area, and other subjects of interest to people on the Hill. While local coverage of the Hill has improved, there is still plenty to report on and Carol plans on doing that for a long time to come.
